May Day

The Week In Review

May Day, May Day.

That's what I feel like shouting out sometimes in the midst of spring and fall releases. A cherry blossom shower of wines are arriving to taste, as well as near daily portfolio tastings. It's a delight to taste the new whites and rosés and fizz that will be on our shelves and in our coolers come summertime. I'm just back from judging at the International Wine Challenge in London plus an intensive five days in Champagne, while Anthony has been previewing the 2016 vintage up in the Okanagan before a swing through Sonoma for the annual Sonoma County Barrel Auction. Our tasting notebooks are bursting, so we'll be spending the next couple of weeks inputting all of our discoveries to the site. Follow along our travels on Instagram and Twitter for a peak of what's in our glasses.
